Dear,
There is a lot of definitions related to CP's but the most closed definitions are as follow:
CP is " a point, step or procedure within production process map; at this point:
1. A specific Hazard may be controlled.
2. A quality factors may be controlled; i.e, a point, step or a procedure at which a non-HACCP regulatory requirement may be controlled such as color, appearance, flavour, thickness, structure ... etc and thus if control at this point is lost; a quality or economic defect may be occur.
CCP, simply, the point, step or procedure within production process map; at this point food safety hazards must be controlled, and the control is essential to produce a SAFE food, otherwise (when lose control), serious health risk is most probable if this food has been consumed.
